40 Days to Translate on RTX 5090? Dev Seeks Efficient Small Model

A developer needs to translate 670k short English text snippets (avg 40-70 words) into 5 languages. Testing Qwen 27B and 35B models on an RTX 5090 yielded only 60-70 TPS (5 seconds per snippet), projecting a 40-day completion time.

Adjusting batch sizes did not significantly improve throughput. The author is considering smaller quantizations or MTP and asks the community for lightweight model recommendations tailored for simple, faithful product description translations.
